Kay is AMAZING! I was a little nervous to meet at her house, but she is professional and the outcome was worth my hour drive for each meeting. I had a lot of pictures from Pinterest as "visions" but nothing of what I REALLY wanted--Kay made it come to life. She was quick to answer emails and texts and really put me at ease for the setup on the day of my wedding. My bouquet was gorgeous and my husband even commented on how the boutonnieres complimented our theme for the day. Beautiful arrangements by a wonderful designer!

My Husband and I visited 5 venues and fell in love with not only the Holly Vault but also Alisa and her team. We fell in love with the unique space and felt that it was the perfect space for us. We loved that the venue offered and/or included: linens, tables, chairs, silverware, plates, catering, drinks, coordinator, getting ready space, and ceremony options. Alisa is the best of the best and thought about every detail that I would never have thought about. She made our day memorable and seamless from start to finish. We were truly able to live in the moment and didn’t have to worry about getting drinks, missing our desserts or appetizers because they were placed at our table throughout the night. Alisa was so easy to work with and her communication was clear and fast. If I had a question I would just either email or text her and would get response within 24 hours. I was completely confident in the team and they made wedding planning easy and my wedding day seamless. Out of all the venues we visited and all teams we have met, the Holly Vault collection is truly the best venue and the team is the best of the best. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again because of this team and venue!

Hello! My name is Tonya. First and foremost, I am a mom to a beautiful little boy (who, let's face it, is completely tired of mom's camera!). I started behind a camera almost fifteen years ago when my grandpa first showed me how to use his. I live for the click of the shutter, capturing those moments that will be gone but never forgotten. Having been a previous cast member at Walt Disney World (and other theme parks), I found that I love the organized chaos that comes with photographing a wedding. Not to mention, who doesn't adore capturing the love between two people?

Awarded Best of Zola
Tonya was incredible. I got engaged December 2019 and was looking to book a photographer pretty early on. Then the pandemic began and my plans changed, slowly at first, then drastically. Tonya was caring and understanding of my situation even before i was an official customer. She kept my date closed in her books until i was finally able to pay in full. She's a very sweet person and so easy to get along with. She's versatile in her editing style and is great if you are looking for something "light and airy" or something a little more "moody". Booking Tonya was hands down the best decision i made with my wedding (second only to picking the man i married).

Our professional wedding DJ was an incredible! He went above and beyond his DJ responsibilities by assisting in coordinating a unique father-daughter dance and was very accommodating with audio equipment. He even had a second microphone for both of my maids of honors to use during their speech. He truly listened to all of our song recommendations and we LOVED that he had us review the list of song requests guests had given him throughout the night before playing. Our DJ knew how to keep the party going, read the room and EVERYONE was on the dance floor. We received so much positive feedback about the music played throughout the night.

We had the absolute best experience with SpaceCat! From the planning stages to ease of payments (and willingness to split up payments), to the party itself. We love this band and can't wait to hear them again! The band worked with us to learn songs that were special to us and it made our night so unique. They were able to set up before the party started and we used their speaker services during cocktail hour/dinner. The band is huge - so many talented artists and musicians and incredible range of vocals. People have not stopped telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. At the end of the night, the encore was in such high demand, we paid to keep them on another hour! Please, don't hesitate when booking with them! We love you, Spacecat!

As someone who is VERY particular about their hair, I cannot recommend Kimberley enough. Not only is she kind, considerate, and professional, but she listens and intently styles based on continuous feedback and guidance. I have very fine, thin hair and Kimberley made sure that my hair looked voluminous but not overdone, and that all of my “bald spots” were covered. Kimberley is not just a hair stylist, she is an artist. She carefully places each and every piece until it is just right. Kimberley takes her time and uses products that do not weigh down your hair while at the same time keeping it firmly in place. I entrusted Kimberley for both engagement photos and my wedding day and it was the best decision I made. I cannot more highly recommend her for not only special occasions, but any of your hair care needs!

Love Plus One Wedding DJs, Musician was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. They brought a lighthearted and optimistic energy that kept the mood upbeat. Their communication was consistently humorous yet professional, and they were very respectful of our vision. They were helpful in guiding song choices and flexible when we asked for changes. The DJ followed our script for most of the event, which our guests enjoyed, though he did go off script at the start and end with slower songs than we preferred.

I was about 4 months out from my wedding date when I came to terms that I needed help - as any bride who thought they could do it all on their own lol. I was struggling finding my last two vendors - draping & aisle runner. I knew on the day of the wedding I simply just could not be everywhere at once and needed extra hands. Luckily I came across Monica on Zola and thank God I did. I mainly reached out to her to assist with the rehearsal and day of coordinating but she went above and beyond that. In addition to helping secure my last two vendors, Monica made sure I stayed on top of everything and gave suggestions on things I didn’t even think of in regard to smaller details and flow of events. She was readily available if ever I needed her opinion or guidance on anything…. Or if I needed to just vent and rant lol. I literally did not have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding because of Monica and her assistant. They executed everything to a tee. Monica is dependable, empathetic, efficient and a joy to work with. If we ever do another large scale celebration, we will be sure to reach out to Monica again. Highly recommend!

Gals and Ghouls was amazing to work with. Very easy to communicate with and SUPER helpful. I would recommend them to everyone. They allow trials before you book so you know the service you’re going to get! Jackie worked with me to find the perfect hairstyle that felt elegant while still making sure I felt like myself.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Utica, MI

I’m Julia - people always ask me how long I’ve been a photographer for and the cliché (but true) answer is for forever. I’ve walked through many alleys that led me to photographing weddings. I worked for the Field Museum photographing meteorites during my college years in Chicago, then worked as a freelancer in the automotive industry when I moved back to Michigan, and worked in a studio photographing everything from seniors to pets. It wasn’t until 5 years ago I decided I loved photographing weddings and couples. I feel like they’re all connected somehow. I'm lucky I found my niche and even luckier that I got to run with it.

Buckle up, we are planning on writing an incredible review. To future brides & grooms reading our review: If you are going to do anything right for your wedding day (besides marrying your best friend), hire Julia as your wedding photographer!!! We can not stress enough how much Julia impacted our wedding day. First, she has your back. She helped us keep calm and keep our timeline on track. Julia had a great sense of reading the room. She was by our side when we needed her. Second, we had a BLAST! Julia kept our energy UP (she's a Leo, if you know you know). She had both of us laughing, smiling, and overall happy. Even our bridal party and family LOVED Julia's professionalism and how she conducts group photos. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her and plan on using her in the future. She's seriously that good. Third, her photography style was exactly what we needed. She is super knowledgeable about poses, lighting, background, etc. She was honest and explained why she had us do certain pictures. She took into account any preferences we had (standing on the left side rather than the right, mobility concerns, etc). Also, be ready to get creative! Overall, Julia is the best wedding photographer we could've asked for and so happy she got to capture our wedding day! Service we chose: 8-hour package with engagement photoshoot To Julia: thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing. You played such an important role in our day. We talk about how we miss you already and hope we can plan some photoshoots in the future!

Hey there! I'm Nicole! I am a confident and raw documentary Detroit wedding photographer serving couples with enthusiasm and sincerity. I am uniquely gifted at blending into the background from center stage and guiding you through the day with ease. I believe that integrity and sincerity outweigh popularity. So, I'm focused on your desires and interests. Yes, I'm a professional wedding photographer who has been in the business since 2012 with published work, but it's not the "pretty" pictures that matter. It's you! You're the reason I started pursuing my passion over 8 years ago. ​

Nicole is an absolute dream to work with. Being a COVID wedding, she was there for us when every other week I reached out with a new plan and a smaller list. When COVID was at its peak, she provided the location we had our minimony and was so helpful throughout the entire process. I won't lie, getting to work with her for our small ceremony last year and our larger celebration was a blessing and I'm so sad our time with her is over... for now ;) but honestly she is the best choice to document your big day.

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer who loves to travel. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan!

Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

Hello, I’m Rich! With 8 years of experience, my focus is on bringing out the best in my couples. Before capturing weddings, I was a palliative care nurse for several years. In both my career as a nurse and now as a photographer, I have experienced the biggest moments of people’s lives, and it’s an honor to be there for them.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for fun, romantic, light & bright photos that are also timeless and true to color, and man did Rich deliver. Communication was amazing- he doesn't take long to respond and is easy to get ahold of. He was so easy to work with from handling a little last minute chaos with engagement photo locations to us replanning our entire wedding within three months. He made sure our engagement and wedding photos went without a hitch. Not only was Rich fun to work with, but he was a fantastic resource and we enjoyed the levity and expertise he brought to every step of the process. Our photos are STUNNING. I will recommend Gold & Elm to anybody who will listen!

Kate did a wonderful job capturing our wedding day and were fantastic to work with! My husband hates taking photos, but he loved working with Kate and Jessica. Plus, they put up with his goofball personality. Our photos are beautiful and look straight from a magazine. Our friends and family can't stop fawning over them! Kate was very responsive and answered all my questions and offered great advice. She felt more like a friend than a photographer. My husband and I decided not to hire a videographer and we were nervous about regretting that decision, but our photos are so great we don't regret it all!

I'm Catie- a Port Huron, Michigan based wedding and couples photographer. My passion for weddings started as I planned my own (10.14.23 baby!) and I decided to jump into wedding photography full time. Weddings are such a precious time and my goal is to showcase your love story. A little more about me: I love tacos & margaritas, iced coffee, traveling, and reading.

Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain and simple. From the first day we met, it felt as if I was speaking with my best friend (professionally of course). Over the months leading up to our wedding day, she was a shoulder to lean on when I was feeling overwhelmed, she offered ideas according to what I wanted and helped keep me on track. She even helped me with making my bridal bouquet! Our wedding day was chaotic but Catie was my sounding board when it came to keeping us on schedule and my family/friends loved her! Now onto her pictures, I love her style (light and airy) not overly color saturated and natural! Oh and she also does boudoir complete with a leather bound book! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. So if you're on the fence, just do it because you'll be glad you did!

Savannah did an AMAZING job. Her hubby was there to help and both were so patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire ceremony and reception. We had multiple calls to go over our wedding timeline and what to expect. She always communicated and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. We had a few changes and she adapted quickly. She also helped ease my nerves on our big day. From our first look, to walking down the aisle, first dance, and family photos. When I look back at my photos I feel all the butterflies again. It was important to capture every detail since we did not do a video photographer. And she did exactly that! She sent us some sneak peaks and we got to share those moments with family and friends and they had nothing but amazing things to say about her as well. If I could to back and do it all again I would choose her again and again!! I can’t recommend her enough!!! Thank you so so much. Can’t wait to work together again.

Our job is to make your wedding photography journey as easy and fun as possible! It is important that we get to know YOU! Thank you for stopping by and we hope to see YOU very soon! Cheers and congratulations!!!!

Yellow Tree Photography made our wedding day absolutely enchanting! My cousin got married and used their service, and I new right off the first time I met thm that's who we wanted to photograph our wedding. I’ve never seen a more passionate Duo of photographers! Dave and Emily worked so great together and made everyone very comfortable. They went above and beyond with customer service and captured our wedding in a way that brings us back to our special day every time we look at our pictures. Our wall art and album are absolutely beautiful! They’ve managed to shoot the most special and important moments of our wedding day from so many different angles, and each of those photos can be easily put in a frame or on a canvas. That’s what I did actually. It was quite difficult to decide which photo to put on canvas because there were so many of them. We booked them for 9 hours, and they gave us so many great photos, and we were left absolutely speechless. My advice to all couples out there is don’t think twice and book them as soon as you can. We are now expecting our first baby and have already booked them for newborn photos! Thanks Emily and Dave!

I constantly look at our photos in awe. she is the best photographer I could’ve ever asked for and I will CONSTANTLY recommend her and go back to her. she is the best, best, best!!!!

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

What you can't see is her empathetic, fun, & take-charge approach. While we were getting ready, she was scoping out locations, coordinating with the hotel manager and our guests, and taking detail photos. When it was time for our couples photos, her positive energy and confidence as the inflection point from when I went from being anxious and stressed to finally feeling excited and starting to have fun. She engaged us in ways so she could capture the beautiful and genuine moments between my wife and I."

My name is Erin Oginsky and I am the owner and photographer behind EJO Photography. I first learned how to use a camera in 1999, when I took a photography class in college. Since then I have loved taking pictures, but did not start taking photos professionally until 2008! Since then I have learned and grown as a photographer. I love photographing weddings, engagements, and families. In addition to photography, my passion is my children, my husband, and the non-profit we run, Mission 25.

Erin is nothing short of amazing. She has such a vision and has been an absolute pleasure to work with even during the pandemic (probably the only vendor that was fully supportive and flexible during the difficult process). She was very easy to get a hold of when I had any questions, reliable and keeps you on time (terribly hard to do during your wedding). Not to mention when she is complete editing your photos the way she presents them to you is AMAZING. It's all about the little details with her. If I could give 10 stars I would.f
